The Best Things About The Worst Days Of Your Life

Life isn't perfect. It's not always easy and it's not always happy. Difficulties and sadness are necessary for our growth. We have to be hurt every once in a while. We have to experience pain and disappointments. At times, we have to experience them through people who we've thought would never hurt us. We have to experience days that we thought we could never survive. 

One of the best things about the worst days of our life is that we learn a lot. Hadn't we experience these bad days, we would never realize a lot of things. Lesson learned the hard way, you could say. Bad days in our life serve as an eye opener to us. They make us see things that we often overlook during the good days. At times, tough times had to happen to teach us something. Like when we are sick, it teaches us how to be more cautious with our health. Because often times we don't mind what we eat, what time we sleep, how badly we need to rest, or that we should exercise at least once in a while. We overestimate our bodies. We don't realize that we are human and we get tired. Sometimes we want to do things all at once. We should keep in mind that being busy doesn't mean we're being productive. We overwork. We don't mind the repercussions of our excessive working or even too much eating. The only time that we realize how bad our lifestyle is when we can no longer function properly. When we become ill and could barely stand. 

Some worst days of our life teach us how to handle things better. We probably experience the same difficult times over and over again. But the thing is, when we experience the same situation again we know how to handle it better the second, third, fourth or for the nth time. We are already familiar with the situation and we know that we can get through it. We know that it won't last and eventually it will pass. We already know how to approach the situation with optimism. We eventually become creative with our problem solving. We explore some other  possible solution to our recurring problem, so that as much as possible we can face it without being too overwhelmed by it. 

Our tough times make us discover our self more. We get to learn about our strengths and weaknesses. We only need to be mindful with our reactions toward some difficult instances in our life. We learn what we want from life. We discover how much or less we value the life that we have. We become more cautious with how and who we spend our time with. Tough times reveal to us the importance of our well-being, that we should prioritize our self. Hard times teach us how to love and care for ourselves more. That at the end of the day, no one is going to save us except our own self. 

Bad days had to happen for us to grow. As the saying goes, "We grow through what we go through." Our tough times are a fundamental part of our story. They make us who we are. Time will come that we're going to look back at those times and we will be proud of our self for surviving. 

au revoir. 😊
